What are you going to do with all your free time once exams are over and summer rolls in? If you answered “go on vacation,” “work at my dream internship” or “spend time with my family,” you’re wrong. The correct response is “listen to rap music.”
In fact, as the temperatures rise and the days last longer, it’s the perfect season for rap. With bass that rattles the car as you drive down the road with the windows down and catchy choruses to chant poolside with your friends, hip-hop is the perfect soundtrack for your summer excursions.
The following mix is a sampling of artists who make music almost custom-made for summer ’16. From the minimal, radio-ready trap of Madeintyo and Desiigner, to the banging beats of producers like Arnold and oshi, these are tracks for any hot summer day and the party/sleep-filled nights that follow.
So grab an iced tea, a pair of shades and several gallons of sunscreen before throwing on this half-hour collection of heaters.
